Totte Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Jays RP Jason Frasor changed his repertoire which is the reason he got sent down to AAA. He hasn't been able to command his curveball this year so they're working on changing his arsenal. He will now be a fastball-slider-splitter pitcher. Although I wouldn't delete his curveball at this point. The only thing to do is add a splitter. I don't know the velocity/movement on it though since I haven't seen it all and the article about it on bluejays.com doesn't mention anything like that. Added a splitter at 88 mph with a 12:6 Drop. Thanks man :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynNets24 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 That's because he doesn't have a sinker. PM MarkB about this...The sinker is Wang's #1 pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myztery Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I have seen people refer to his pitch as a sinker, but I've seen many Yankee fans claim that it's actually a 2-seamer. I'm not sure. Whatever it is, it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I just want to extend a great big thank you to Totte for all of his hard work on these rosters. He does a great job, not only with keeping up with all of the roster moves, but dealing with all of the jackasses that keep asking when the newest version will be released. When the downloads went down, I tried to keep up with the transactions myself, and it took all of about 2 minutes for me to say screw it. I can't speak for everyone here, but I truly appreciate your efforts in making this game as enjoyable as possible. (That goes for all of the modders that contribute to this site.) ^Exactly how I feel. With all of the things that we're able to do with this game, we can keep it alive for years to come. However, the work can be very hard and tedious, so you must have great patience. We're all lucky that Totte is so great at keeping up with things, and that he's continually working hard to keep us happy. Thanks Totte. You're the best. ^^^Ditto what these guys said^^^ These rosters are as accurate as these stupid n0obs that ask for the MVP06 mod are annoying. Yes, I said n0obs. With a n0ob. Well, you know I love the rosters Thanks guys . It means a lot to me :hail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 The sinker is Wang's #1 pitch Please PM MarkB about it as he can explain it. This discussion has been brought up several times before and we've established that it's a 2-seamer with great movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngdot Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 This is the first time I've heard it referred to a 2 seamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNateGBent Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I've heard it's a two-seamer from Yankee fans (who I trust), but since it has sinking movement, people might just call it a sinker, since really everything that sinks is a sinker.

TwentySeven Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 That's because he doesn't have a sinker. PM MarkB about this... Wikipedia says: Wang throws a 91-97 mph fastball and also mixes in a slider and a forkball/splitter. However, his most powerful weapon is his 90-94 mph sinker which induces many ground outs. However, I will PM MarkB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngdot Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Well Kay is an idiot, but I mean everyone I talk to about Wang, is always about his Webb-like sinkerball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myztery Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 http://www.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/gameday...t=.jsp&c_id=nyy This is a NYY article that refers to the pitch as a "two-seam sinker" I'd say it's a two seamer with excellent movement.

People also confuse Roy Halladay's 2-seamer for a sinker.. although he actually throws both. His 2-seamer has downward tilt but it also breaks in to right handers/away from lefties.

The Big O Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Thanks man. There are two open spots in the Orioles organisation. Do you have any specific players you want added? I'd like to see Rowell and Beato. However Jamal Strong on Bowie is now with the Richmond Braves and you can get rid of Travis Brown and replace him with Ryan Adams, because Brown is just organizational filler while Adams is a prospect. I don't know if you saw the Hoey addition as well because he is a definate top prospect. Brian Bock (A) can go for him, as he is just filler as well.

Totte Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Ultimate Rosters v 7.4 for PC Below you'll find both the Standard and Plus Edition of the famous Ultimate Rosters for MVP Baseball 2005. Here’s what’s new in this version: • Transactions are up-to date as of August 12th (3 pm ET) • Added about 10 new players (prospects and minor-leaguers). • Somewhat revamped Baltimore Orioles organisation (thanks to The Big O) • Edited tons of stuff you guys have been sending me and posting in the forums. • Plus minor tweaks here and there to improve your gameplay even further (ratings, appearances etc.) To download the rosters, please visit: http://forums.total-classics.com/viewtopic.php?p=1063#1063 Please note that this is my final update as I'm taking a few weeks off from the roster making. I'll definitely be back sometime in September but as of know, I'm in a really bad need for a break. I know I've told you guys this before and you probably think that I'm being a total pain in the *** about it but please consider making a donation to my PayPal-account as ALL of your money will go to the Swedish Children's Cancer Foundation. The Swedish Children's Cancer Foundation Every year in Sweden, approximately 300 children are diagnosed with cancer. Today, three out of four children survive their illness, thanks mainly to new treatment strategies that have been developed as a result of successful clinical work and tremendous research efforts funded by the Swedish Children’s Cancer Foundation. The Swedish Children’s Cancer Foundation is a non-profit organisation whose operations are entirely dependent on donations and bequests, without any form of government, council or municipal grants. The most important work carried out by the Swedish Children’s Cancer Foundation is supporting research for children’s cancer by providing training, education, and information. The vision is that all children diagnosed with cancer will become well again. For the last decade, the Swedish Children’s Cancer Foundation has been the primary source of research funding for children’s cancer and currently represents 90 per cent of all financial support for Swedish research on childhood cancer. I first came up with this idea last December when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. It never really crossed my mind before that this horrible disease actually could find it's way to someone in your family. Thank G-D my mom is doing fine now but it's most certainly been a couple of rough months for all of us. If you want to make a donation, go to www.paypal.com and send your donation to christoffer.johansson@delta.telenordia.se Thanks to all of you for using the rosters :hail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
